I once did that with an old, really tatty bell box. It looked like it probably wouldn't even work.

..... but it did work .... and it didn't have a timer ..... and it sounded for 7 hours! Boy, was I popular.

LOL. They dont make em like they used to.

As it happens, I'm sitting in our office waiting for emergency lights to pass 3hr drain down. Right on Q the new units (less than few years old) went out after 3hrs + poss ten mins. The older units (at least 20-25yrs old) are still as bright at the second we turned the mains off.
